Hi everyone I'm sort of new to these forums but I would like to announce my 1st project. I'm working on a "What if " diorama kind of based on one of the call of duty video games (MW3), where the Russians attacked the major countries of the world like the US, France, and Germany. I really enjoyed the alternate history type of Battles on the game and wanted to build a diorama from one of the missions..There will be a Leopard 2 fighting it's way down the streets of Berlin. This is one of my first diorama builds since I've started models again

This is the Kit I bought ... It's the 1/35 Hobby boss Leopard 2A6EX .
I did not purchase any detailing aftermarket kits mainly because I just don't have the funds for It right now. (Since I'm still in high school )


The Diorama will be set in a scene similar to these three images from the game..




I'm exiting to see what this will turn out to be and will post more updates in the future. Any questions or comments are welcome.

The one in the picture is actually one of the latest. Types of leopard 2s ... The A7 I believe?

This variant looks like what you would like to have for your diorama. Not all of it but the turret extra armour seems to fit.
